DAY DREAMS.

oh. sweet are the dreams that darkness
brings,
The fragrant roses that'slumher filings
In the garden of night
But sweeter far are the dreams that day
Drops all along life's weary way,
Like dew-drops on the buds OF May,
TO bless our waking sight.
"oh, beautiful, beautiful dreams, that fall
Like tender moonlight over all
The dreary waters oflife
As II an angel went before
And gided all the landscape er
With the shadow OF heaven. where OF yore
Was only pain and strife.
Oh, beautiful dreams, that spring like
flowers
Out Of the seeds of life's dark hours,
Watered with tears of pain!
Flowers that bloom mid desert sands,
Too frail TO transplant the brighter lands,
Too fair TO be gathered by mortal hands,
Too sweet to lose again.
Oh, beautiful beautiful waking dreams,
That flow like forest-hidden streams
BY the foot-worn load of day
Streams that go ringing for loves own sake
Streams that their sweetest music make
out of the very stones that break
The smoothness of their way.
Oh, exquisite dreams, that softly show
Through the gray-spun veil of earthly woe
Like "a star in twilight skies,
Too far TO make our own, so near.
II tempts our grasp, that pure and clear
On nights dark cheek lies like O tear
Wept from an angels eyes.
Oh, dreams that rest on the life OF youth,
Like bubbles that rise In the well of trutl
From the sombre depths belowl
Bubbles that catch each ray of the sun,
And mirrow them upward, one by one
Till all the well, so cold, SODIUM,
Cleans with borrowed glow
Oh, stars that vanish, Oh flowers that fad
On, streams that are lost in the WOODLAND
shade:
Oh, bubbles that break with n kiss;
Oh, dreams that from the buried roots
Ofsecret sorrow, like green shoots,
Grow toward the light butbear 40 fruits,
Are ye less fair than this
What though ye are but dreams, but dreams

office, we learned that two passengers
had booked with us, for Liverpool.
After the Captain had discharged his
business, we visited the restaurant,

couple of hours seeing the town. Ere
long the tug whistle announced to us,
that all was i'll readiness for the depart

we boarded the tug and were soon
along side of the ship.
There was a slight resemblance be-
tween our two new passengers, who
were seated opposite us, one Of whom
engaged my attention. He was tall,
Of fair complexion, and much emacia-

cheek; however, he seemed bright and
cheerful.

rise above water, then dive beneath.
Ere long the moon came out, full and
clear, and we could see for miles around
us The last strains of "There's a land
that is Fairer than Day." had scarcely
died, when voice, sweet, rich and
clear, which belonged to none OF us,
sang these words:
Tonight they are singing so sweetly,
Singing aboard the good ship;
Ere the great ship has ended her journey,
They'll weep, weep, weep, Obi they'll weep.
My lover will soon be with me,
In the waters so deep, deep, deep;
Weep not, when he sleeps, dear brother,
For his dreams will be ever so sweet"
All seemed transfxed, until the voice
ceased, then springing up, looked over
the stern. A cloud had obscured the
the moon, yet in the water, near the
rear end OF the vessel, the dim outlines
of form, could be seen. A moment
more, and the cloud had floated past,
and by the moons lambent rays, the
form resembled that of woman, the
upper third Of which, WAS above water.
The face was the most beautiful l ever

Irving Hall having gone to pieces as a
democratic organization. 1t got bad set
back last fall in the mayoralty contest
when Tammany and the county dem ocracy
united on Hewitt and elected him. As
Irving Hall was. ignored in the nominations
they bolted and supported George, as re.
suit of which, many of the leaders resigned
and were absorbed in the other organiza-
tions. In the late contest the Hall was
again ignored, and again the remnant
bolted, following the boiling Nicoll, who,
having been rejected by the democratic
convention as a''candidate for district attor.
ney, was taken up and nominated by the
republicans. He was frightfully showed
under, and his defeat has been followed by
the practical dissolution of Irving Hall
and with the Hall disappears also the Sey-

the other organizations. The decease of the
hall will not be mourned by democrats
